Life will be easier if you learn how to use Unix commands, e.g., su, sudo, from the command line.

Occasionally as a Systems Programmer, I need to have perform something in USS that requires UID=0. In TSO I can switch to EUID=0 by going to 3.17 (Utilities/Udlist) and type a su which seems to stay set for the entire length of the TSO session. Is there a way do a su in batch and then copy files or adjust permits/owner etc. For example interactively, I can set my euid=0 with su in 3.17, then go to =6 and type in OPUT to copy files into USS to directories that my normal uid does not have permission but the OPUT works because I am still euid=0. I am looking for a way to do this in batch. Thanks William Boyer System Engineer Sr Advisor T 410-842-1706 william.bo...@gdit.com One W.
